Peloton members who showed up for Matty Maggiacomo’s signature “Walk + Talk” class this week were treated to more than just a workout—they stepped right into a Bravo crossover event. In a surprise studio moment, the proud Rhode Island native welcomed the cast of the upcoming The Real Housewives of Rhode Island to the Tread, blending high-energy fitness with major reality TV tea.
The special session served as a double celebration: marking 20 years of the iconic Real Housewives franchise and gearing up for the highly anticipated debut of the Rhode Island storefront. Joining Matty on the belt were new diamonds Alicia Carmody, Liz McGraw, and Kelsey Swanson, along with a familiar face from the Garden State, Dolores Catania.
Fitness Meets Fandom
Maggiacomo’s 30-minute Walk + Talk classes have become a fan favorite for their community-driven, conversational vibe, but this “Rhode Island Edition” took the energy to a new level. Moving together like old friends, Matty and the ladies dived deep into their Ocean State roots, playfully leaned into their “wicked awesome” accents, and gave members an exclusive look at what to expect from the new franchise.
The atmosphere in the studio was electric as the group balanced the discipline of the walk with the playful banter and behind-the-scenes insights that only a Bravo cast can provide.
A Full-Circle Moment
For Maggiacomo, the collaboration was deeply personal. As a longtime superfan of the franchise and a Rhode Island local, bringing these two worlds onto the Peloton platform was a career highlight.
“Getting to Walk + Talk with the Rhode Island Housewives felt like a full-circle moment for me,” said Matty Maggiacomo. “Rhode Island is home, Bravo is my happy place, and bringing those worlds together with our Members was magic. We laughed, we celebrated our Ocean State roots while we got our steps in. That’s what it’s all about.”
